Well, if it is a religion that's against prostitution then it will not effect them. They will be against it and everything would remain the same. But remember, not all religions are against prostitution.

If its against your religion, culture or whatever then legalizing it wont effect your people. Yes there will be an outlier who still wants to, but so what? What is the down fall? If you get the proper protection you will be fine from diseases and unwanted pregnancies.

So it should be forced but your ok with people still outlawing it? WHAT?!

It isn't forced. Think about it, if a society is so against it then no one would dare do it. Everything would remain the same. What do you mean with people outlawing it? No I am not.

Then whats the point in having a WA proposal legalizing prostitution if other can disobey it?

By not becoming a prostitute, you aren't disobeying it.

This is about national laws about stuff, not individual choices.

I would, if I knew how.

Well, allow me to explain how I break up the quote boxes (which personally I prefer to using color tags because if several people all do that then the posts start to get a little on the Garish side and you don't want that). I read through the post and when I get to a point I wish to respond to I put the [/quote] tag there and type my reply. Then I either copy the original quote tag (i.e. the one at the beginning of the post I'm replying to) and paste it where the other person's words resume or just put the [quote] tag there.

Why oh why oh why have you submitted this proposal?

Do our opinions not matter? Does the poll not matter?

"That's ok. The loopholes allowing me to ignore this proposal are still in there. Actually, did he change anything from the last time it was submitted?"

How the hell did this thread get 1133 replies in 10 days? This subject really doesn't warrant that much attention.

You and I both know it's like the abortion issue; it polarises sides and it kicks up a crap storm. Prostitution hasn't come up for about 2 years though, so I think that's why it's getting so many comments.

IC: UGH! He submitted it... :palm:

Still there? Hmph.

I'm still curious to hear a response to this?

Well, in the event that it fails, we will not continue to support it unless loopholes are closed.

I'm only quibbling over the difference between intent and unintended side effects. Though mind you, the side effects are a perfectly valid reason in themselves for rejecting the proposal, so I'm happy to just leave it at that. I hope the debate is as exhausted as the debaters are now?

I think you are misunderstood. What I meant was that this resolution doesn't forceyou to become a prostitution. If a individual or even a whole society does not like prostitution then this will not effect them. They wont become a prostitution and there may not be a lot of prostitutes in that particular nation.

Yes, and I think that is what's confusing him. It's alright though, I think he understands now.

Yes, your opinions matter a great deal to me. The poll encouraged me to do this!

The results are so evenly split, if it comes up for voting no one will be able to predict the outcome. :unsure:

The version here and the version on the approval page is different. I added some things to fix your problem. And a lot changed since the last time I submitted it.

Oh that's easy. I was to stubborn to give up and I am still not giving up. I made a significant amount of changes from the original one, so out came this some.

So you add stuff, and submit it, without having a discussion on the stuff you add? *sigh*

Well, you just repeated the same thing over and over again and never actually presented any real arguments.

I'm fairly new to the game, but I am being spoken about in quite a few other threads. I guess I did kick up a storm.
